T  Pi  E;      LATE 

Samuel  Latham  Mitchill  Barlow. 


THE  generous  and  genial  nature  of  our  lamented  friend,  Mr, 
Barlow,  has  alread)'  been  the  theme  of  just  encomiums  and 
eulogies.  It  behooves  us  now  to  recall  his  character  and  merits  as 
an  enlightened,  liberal  and  public-spirited  bibliophile. 

From  his  boyhood  he  loved  books,  and  soon  endeavored  to  form 
a  collection.  Never  in  those  early  days  did  he  return  home  from 
his  modest  law  office,  however  tired  by  hard  work,  without  canvass- 
ing the  book  stores  and  book-stalls  on  the  way,  and  more  than  once 
it  was  not  in  vain.  The  beautiful  copy  of  the  Antwerp  edition  of 
Thevet's  Singularitez  de  la  France  antarcticque,  vellum  bound,  and 
stamped  with  the  entwined  crescents  of  Diane  de  Poitiers,*  has  no 
other  origin,  and  was  found  in  Nassau  Street. 

At  no  time  had  it  been  the  object  of  Mr.  Barlow  to  accumulate 
a  large  library  in  every  branch  of  science  and  literature.  This  he 
properly  left  to  public  institutions.  Nor  did  he  care  to  collect  books 
which  had  no  other  merit  than  their  extreme  rarity.  His  aim  was 
higher  and  more  in  accordance  with  common  sense.  From  the 
start,  he  determined  to  embrace  exclusively  the  history  of  America. 
The  subject  was  already  of  sufficient  scope  to  absorb  his  efforts  and 
means  ;  but  with  a  just  appreciation  of  its  importance,  he  brought  it 
within  his  reach  by  keeping  chiefly  in  view  original  authorities  and 
editions.  To  form  regular  series,  comprehending  separate  epochs 
and  distinct  sections  of  the  New  World  ;  to  connect  all  the  links, 
and  to  illustrate  with  parallel  accounts  events  but  little  known,  were 
always  the  primary  motives  of  his  endeavors  and  purchases.  It  is 
thus  that  we  come  to  find  in  his  collection  the  invaluable  first 
printed  letters  of  Columbus,  Vespuccius  and  Cortez  ;  the  rich  series 
of  colonial  pamphlets,  English,  French  and  Dutch,  and  the  largest 
set  of  Jesuit  Relations  ever  offered  for  sale. 

Under  the  circumstances,  his  library  could  never  be  very  exten- 
sive, both  on  account  of  the  high  prices  which  that  class  of  books 
already  conmianded,  and  of  their  increasing  rarity  and  importance, 
at  home  and  abroad.  Ikit  when  fortune  commenced  to  smile  on  him 
in  various  ways,  and  he  was  informed  that  the  precious  library  which 

*  /„fra.  N(i.  2444. 


iv  Samuel  L,  M.  Barlow. 

Col.  Thomas  Aspinwall  had  collected  during  the  thirty  years  of  his 
residence  as  United  States  Consul  at  London  could  be  purchased, 
he  at  once  determined  to  acquire  it  at  any  cost. 

The  books  and  manuscripts  were  in  Boston,  and  the  agent  sent 
to  bring  them  over,  knowing  the  impatience  of  Mr.  Barlow  to  behold 
as  his  own  the  desiderata  which  he  had  so  long  sought  to  possess, 
had  the  forethought  to  select  two  hundred  or  more  of  the  choicest 
works,  which  he  packed  in  a  large  trunk,  and  brought  himself  to 
New  York.  The  rest,  comprising  about  3,700  volumes,  were  boxed 
up  and  sent  to  a  store-house,  until  the  room  appropriated  for  the 
library  in  Mr.  Barlow's  new  residence  on  Madison  Avenue  was 
ready  to  receive  the  entire  collection,  and  they  were  destroyed  in  the 
conflagration  which  consumed  the  establishment  of  Messrs.  Bangs 
Brothers  during  the  night  of  the  i8th  of  September,  1864. 

The  sorrow  of  our  friend  was  intense.  We  repaired  together 
to  Broadway,  and  vainly  endeavored  to  save  from  the  burning  ruins 
a  few  scorched  volumes.  But,  true  to  his  patriotic  instincts,  he 
was  half  comforted  with  the  thought  that  the  rarest  New  England 
pamphlets,  and  particularly  the  manuscript  records  of  the  Common- 
wealth of  Massachusetts  during  the  XVIIth  century  (No.  2765), 
so  important  for  the  history  of  his  native  State,  had  escaped  destruc- 
tion, and  were  safely  lodged  away  from  the  fire. 

Far  from  being  discouraged  by  such  a  calamity,  Mr.  Barlow 
renewed  his  efforts,  and  at  last  succeeded  in  forming  the  remarkable 
collection  of  works  relating  to  America,  which,  on  account  of  the 
death  of  its  founder,  is  now  offered  for  sale. 

The  difficulty  of  replacing  those  books  was  greater  than  ever,  and 
it  became  even  doubtful  whether  certain  series  could  be  completed. 
The  Jesuit  Relations,  the  New  England,  New  Netherlands  and 
Virginia  colonial  tracts,  together  with  the  matchless  copies  of 
Smith's  History  of  Virginia,  presented  a  well-connected  chain  of 
historical  and  descriptive  works  embracing  the  North  American 
-ontinent.  To  continue  it  further  South  in  the  same  style  first 
.  quired  the  original  Spanish  editions  of  the  Letters  of  Ferdinand 
Cortez  describing  his  conquest  of  Mexico.  Latin  and  Italian  trans- 
lations figured   at   times  in   important   booksellers'  catalogues;  but

where  to  find  the  Cartas  de  relacion  printed  at  Seville,  Saragossa, 
Valencia  and  Toledo  ?  Mr,  James  Carter  Brown  had  been  so  for- 
tunate thirty  years  before,  in  securing  a  full  set.  Mr.  Lenox,  how- 
ever, notwithstanding  printed  appeals*  distributed  every  where,  and 
the  most  liberal  offers,  never  could  possess  more  than  two  out  of 
four,  whilst  none  whatever  were  known  to  exist  in  any  other  private 
libraries,  either  in  Europe  or  America.  During  one  of  our  explor- 
ing expeditions,  in  search  of  early  documents  to  copy  and  publish, 
we  chanced  to  discover  in  Spain  three  of  those  priceless  original 
Cartas,  comprising  in  fact  the  entire  text  of  the  four,  as  the  one 
which  was  printed  at  Saragossa  in  1523,  and  of  which  only  one 
specimen  was  known  to  exist,f  is  simply  a  reprint  of  the  Seville 
edition  of  1522.  They  soon  found  their  way  into  the  Bibliothcca 
Barlotviana.  No  others  have  been  discovered  since,  and  only  five  of 
the  public  libraries  of  Europe  can  boast  of  possessing  either  three 
of  those  great  books,  or  even  one. 

For  the  history  of  the  discovery  of  America,  Barlow  possessed  the 
celebrated  Aspinwall  copy  of  the  Epistle  of  Columbus,  printed  by 
Stephanus  Plannck  at  RomeJ  (in  1493).  This  is  unquestionably 
the  first  Latin  edition  of  that  memorable  account,  and  the  prototype 
of  the  reprints  made  in  the  same  year  at  Paris,  Antwerp  and  J)asle,§ 
as  well  as  of  nearly  all  the  reimpressions  of  the  text  published  in  the 
XVIth  and  XVIIth  centuries,  as  is  shown  by  the  omission  in  every 
title  of  the  name  of  Queen  Isabelle,  It  was  necessary  for  the  tenor 
of  De  Cosco's  translation  to  find  Plannck's  corrected  edition,  which.

although  not  quite  so  rare  as  the  first,  attained  such  high  prices 
when  brought  under  the  hammer.  A  very  fine  copy  was  secured  by 
Mr.  Barlow  at  private  sale. 

The  library  contained  three  original  Latin  editions,  and  one  Ger- 
man version  of  the  separate  account  of  the  third  voyage  of  Vespuc- 
cius;  but  there  was  a  Venetian  issue  which  then  existed  only  in  two 
libraries,  viz.:  the  Trivulziana  at  Milan,  and  Marciana  at  Venice.* 
The  beauty  and  peculiar  style  of  its  typography,  as  well  as  its  origin, 
showing  that  the  version  in  the  PcBsi  Nouajnente  retrouati  had  been 
borrowed  from  it  for  the  text,  and  translated  into  the  Venetian 
dialect  before  1506,  since  this  translation  already  figures  in  the 
Ferrara  manuscript,  rendered  Mr.  Barlow  extremely  desirous  to  find 
that  edition.  Happening  to  discover  a  duplicate  in  one  of  the  bound 
collections  of  tracts  made  by  Morelli  for  the  Marciana,  we  obtained 
from  the  Italian  Government  the  cession  of  that  rare  book  to  our 
friend.  It  is  No,  14  "of  our  Additamcnta,  and  No.  2554  of  the 
present  catalogue. 

There  was  still  wanting  a  work  of  the  utmost  importance  for  that 
already  remarkable  series  of  Americana.  It  was  the  first  decade  of 
Peter  Martyr,  printed  at  Seville  in  1511,  but  with  the  supplementary 
leaves  containing  the  table  of  errata  and  the  map.  We  found  at 
Madrid  a  splendid  copy,  which,  when  duly  examined,  presented 
differences  theretofore  unnoticed,  in  the  title  and  address  to  Count 
Tendilla.f  Mr.  Barlow  purchased  that  important  desideratum,  and 
caused  it  to  be  bound  in  perfect  Grolier  style  by  Marius.J 

The  works  relating  to  the  early  history  of  Canada  were  among  the 
chief  objects  of  his  solicitude,  and  he  spared  neither  efforts  nor  ex- 
pense to  gather  as  many  as  he  could.  The  Barlowiana  contained 
the  Champlains  of  1613,  1620  and  1632  in  extremely  fine  condition, 
and  all  with  the  original  maps,  but  it  preserved  no  Lcscarhot.  The 
editions  of  1609,  161 1   and  16 12  could  easily  be  obtained  ;   a  single

bookseller  of  Paris,  Mr.  Porquet,  had  at  the  same  time,  a  couple  of 
years  ago,  so  many  as  seven  copies  of  the  latter  ;  but  Mr.  Barlow 
wanted  the  valuable  edition  of  1617*  or  161 8,  the  only  one  which  is 
complete.  It  was  not  believed  to  be  in  any  of  the  private  or  public 
libraries  of  France  ;f  and  Tross,  after  vainly  seeking  for  that  edition 
had  been  compelled  to  make  his  reprint  from  that  of  1612,  which 
lacks  a  chapter.     It  was  found,  but  in  New  York. 

Mr.  Barlow  had  given  a  standing  and  unlimited  order  for  the 
Canadian  book,  which  is  unquestionably  the  most  important  for  the 
religious  history  of  Canada,  and  the  origin  of  Montreal — not  ex- 
cepting the  Sagard  or  the  LcClerc — besides  being,  perhaps,  next  to 
the  Cartier  of  1545,  the  rarest  of  that  class  of  works.  Neither  the 
Browniana,  Lexoniana  nor  any  other  American  library,  whether 
public  or  private,  possessed  it,  although  a  copy  had  once  been  sold 
in  the  United  States  twenty  years  ago  for  |i6o;  but  no  one  could  tell 
what  had  become  of  the  volume.  It  was  the  Veritables  Motifs  de 
Messieurs  et  Datnes  de  la  Socictc  de  Nostre  Dame  de  Montreal^ 
published  at  Paris  in  1643,!  but  printed  only  for  the  use  of  Mr. 
Olier's  friends,  and  so  rare  that  even  St.  Sulpice  did  not  possess  it, 
and  the  Abbe  Faillon  was  preparing,  when  he  died,  to  have  a  man- 
uscript copy  taken  from  the  copy  in  the  Paris  National  Library, 
the  only  one  known  to  exist  in  France.  A  large  paper  copy  was 
exhumed  from  among  the  scattered  archives  of  a  suppressed 
convent,  and  bought  for  Mr.  Barlow  just  in  time  to  save  it  from  the 
waste  basket. 

The  devotion  of  the  religious  orders  for  the  missionaries  sent  to 
la  Nouvelle-France  in  the  XVIIth  century  was  extremely  great, 
and  shared  by  certain  pious  and  wealthy  laymen  affiliated  to  them 
in  a  still  higher  degree,  if  possible.  The  Relatiotis  never  failed  to 
give  a  separate  account  of  the  death  of  these  courageous  apostles. 
'I'he  nuns,  especially,  who  fell  the  victims  of  their  zeal,  were  remem-

\  We  have  discovered  since  a  copy  in  the  Mazarine  Library  (Xo.  248S).  It  is 
the  only  specimen  of  the  edition  of  161  S  in  Paris.

bered  with  touching  descriptions  of  their  lives,  efforts  and  last 
moments.  The  Vie  de  la  Mire  Marie  de  V Incarnation,  and  of 
Father  Chaumonot  are  well  known.  There  was  one  of  these  bio- 
graphical letters  printed  with  the  Relation  of  1669,  but  which, 
according  to  a  vague  tradition,  had  been  published  separately,  and 
only  for  a  few  personal  friends.  We  refer  to  the  Lettre  circulaire  de 
la  mort  de  la  Reverende  Mere  Catharine  de  S.  Augustin,  Religieuse 
Hospitaliire  de  Quebec.  Mr.  Barlow  had  set  his  heart  on  acquiring 
that  rarissime  book,  if  it  ever  could  be  discovered.  The  fact  is  that 
for  an  American  bibliophile,  who  already  possessed  fifty-two  copies 
of  the  Jesuit  Relations  in  original  editions,  whilst  the  richest  private 
libraries  in  that  class  of  works  had  never  contained  more  than  forty- 
three,*  the  Lettre  Circulaire  was  worth  having  It  had  never 
figured  in  any  sale  or  catalogue,  and  no  traces  of  the  book  could  be 
found  in  the  inventories  of  the  religious  orders  which  we  had  been 
able  to  consult.  We  found  it  in  a  Paris  bookstore,  but  the  seller, 
who  only  suspected  the  value  of  it,  was  not  long  in  becoming  con- 
vinced of  its  importance,  and  fixed  the  price  accordingly.  It  figures 
in  the  present  catalogue  under  No.  1469. 

We  could  mention  many  other  extremely  valuable  books,  which 
patience,  a  liberal  outlay  and  peculiar  circumstances,  permitted  Mr. 
Barlow  to  place  in  his  library.  The  reader  will  easily  recognize 
them  in  the  adjoining  pages.

Mr.  Barlow's  set  comprises,  including  duplicates,  53,  including  one  which  is 
unique  as  a  separate  edition. 

There  is  no  complete  set  of  these  Jesuit  Relations  in  original  editions  any- 
where. The  one  coming  nearest  completion  is  in  the  Paris  National  Library, 
particularly  since  we  caused  the  duplicate  copy  of  the  Relation  of  1632,  which  was 
in  the  Arsenal  Library,  to  be  added.  We  have  since  found  another  copy  of  that 
first  Relation  in  the   Mazarine  (No.  35,788).

The  wish  of  that  kind  and  generous  man  always  was  that  his 
library  should  be  kept  intact,  if  possible,  and  rendered  after  his 
death  as  practically  useful  to  the  student  as  it  had  always  been  in 
his  lifetime.  To  that  effect,  in  1883,  he  proposed  to  a  New  York 
literary  institution  to  purchase  it  after  having  been  valued  by  dis- 
interested experts,  and  to  give  one-half  of  the  valuation.  In  justice 
to  his  family  he  could  not  do  more.  Nothing,  however,  came 
of  this  liberal  offer  ;  and  many  years  will  elapse  before  patriotic 
donors  and  richly  endowed  societies  are  graced  with  another  such 
opportunity  to  acquire  those  indispensable  elements  of  the  history 
of  America. 

Millions  and  millions  of  dollars  have  been  bequeathed  during 
the  last  few  years  in  New  York,  in  Illinois,  in  California  and  in 
other  States  for  the  purpose  of  founding  extensive  public  libraries. 
The  amounts  are  certainly  large  enough  to  allow  the  acquisition  of 
ancient  books,  as  well  as  of  those  modern  volumes,  which  can  be 
easily  obtained  and  which  are  destined  to  be  always  in  the  market. 
Can  it  be  said  that  the  administrators  of  those  munificent  and 
judicious  bequests  duly  appreciate  the  entire  importance  of  the 
trusts  committed  to  them,  when  they  let  pass  with  supine  indiffer- 
ence chances  like  the  present,  which  will  not  occur  again  more  than 
once  or  twice  in  a  century,  to  secure  at  once  books  of  such  para- 
mount importance  for  the  history  of  our  country  ?  We  have  no 
Archivo  de  Indias,  no  Simancas,  and  since  those  books  are  the  near- 
est copies  of  original  manuscripts  which  are  now  lost,  a  collection 
of  them  should  form  the  nucleus  of  a  repository  of  printed  archives. 
True  it  is  that  the  Lenoxiana  contains  nearly  all  the  early  publi- 
cations and  we  can  still  form  one  or  two  collections  of  that  char- 
acter. I?oston  or  Philadelphia,  Chicago  or  San  Francisco,  when  in 
possession  of  ample  means  due  to  the  patriotic  munificence  of 
American  citizens,  should  take  it  at  heart  to  enrich  its  public  library 
with  such  historical  and  literary  treasures. 

Perhaps  the  trustees  imagine  that  Americana  of  the  kind  which 
we  have  just  described  can  be  found  at  any  time.  Not  long  since, 
a  bibliophile  of  that  school  walked  into  our  office,  with  the  Bihlio- 
thcca  A/Ncricana    Vetustissii/ia  under   his   arm,  and   asked  us  to  give 


X  Samuel  L.  M,  Barlow. 

him  the  address  of  the  store  in  Paris  where  all  the  works  mentioned 
in  that  bibliography  could  be  purchased  at  a  reasonable  price.  His 
surprise  was  unbounded  when  informed  that  if  he  possessed  all  the 
money  of  Mr.  Vanderbilt  and  had  a  century  of  life  before  him,  he 
could  not  with  that  wealth,  and  in  a  hundred  years,  hope  to  get 
scarcely  more  than  two-thirds  of  those  books.  Still,  it  was  already 
something  to  the  credit  of  that  well-meaning  citizen  to  have  thought 
of  including  the  accounts  sent  by  Columbus,  Vespuccius,  Cortez, 
Pizarro  and  Jacques  Cartier  in  an  American  public  library. 

Barlow's  greatest  wish  was  to  benefit  others  even  more  than 
himself ;  and  his  library  remained  open  to  any  one  who  desired 
to  consult  it.  You  had  only  to  come  to  the  house,  ring  the  bell, 
express  your  intention,  and  you  were  at  once  ushered  into  that 
hospitable  "  Black  Library,"  where  every  bookcase  was  constantly 
kept  unlocked.  If  unable  to  come  in  person,  or  residing  in  a  dis- 
tant city,  books,  maps  and  manuscripts  were  forwarded  to  the  student 
who  stood  in  need  of  them  to  continue  or  complete  historical  labors. 
As  we  are  writing  these  lines,  probably  several  valuable  volumes  and 
atlases  still  circulate  hundreds  of  miles  away  from  New  York. 
The  only  regret  of  the  owner  was  that  so  few  availed  themselves 
of  the  privilege. 

That  great  and  open-handed  bibliophile  certainly  appreciated,  as 
well  as  any  one,  unique  copies,  priceless  editions  and  artistic  bind- 
ings ;  but  the  possession  of  such  rarities  did  not  dry  up  his  heart  or 
enfeeble  his  mind.  He  would  have  blushed  to  keep  for  himself 
in  a  selfish  and  inabordable  solitude  a  single  one  of  those  books, 
however  precious,  especially  when  it  could,  in  the  hands  of  a  com- 
petent investigator,  throw  light  upon  certain  obscure  periods  of  our 
history.  He  was  generous  to  excess  ;  and  many  a  one,  near  and  far, 
from  Madison  Avenue  or  William  Street,  has  received  at  his  hands 
important  services,  discreetly  proffered,  and  still  more  discreetly 
received,  which  the  ingratitude  of  some,  and  dishonesty  of  others, 
never  prevented  him  from  rendering  again,  to  the  last  day  of  his  life. 

Nor  were  his  efforts  limited  to  dispensing  liberally  sources  of 
information   by  means  of    one  of   the   best   libraries    of  American 


Samuel  L.  M.  Barlow.  xi 

books  ever  brought  together,  and  in  causing  to  be  printed  at  his  own 
cost,  for  private  distribution,  works  on  American  subjects,  which 
could  not  have  been  published  otherwise.*  He  strove  also  to  incul- 
cate in  the  few  young  men  who  cared  for  historical  knowledge, 
notions  of  an  elevated  character  regarding  the  early  history  of 
America,  and  a  critical  study  of  the  facts  and  original  authorities. 
He  knew  and  felt  that  next  to  Christianity,  the  discovery  of  the  New 
World  was  the  greatest  event  of  our  era,  and  one  destined,  ere  long 
perhaps,  to  evolve  consequences  which  may  remodel  the  conquests 
of  European  civilization.  The  voyages  of  Columbus,  Vespuccius, 
the  Pinzons,  Magellan,  Cartier,  will  then  be  altogether  things  of  the 
past,  and  studied  probably  with  as  much  care  and  perseverance  as 
scholars  now  endeavor  to  elucidate  Solomon's  expeditions  to  Ophir 
and  Tharsis.  If  so,  it  will  be  necessary  to  interrogate  again  the 
old  archives,  and  to  examine  by  the  light  of  trustworthy  analysis  and 
critical  inquiries  all  the  data  and  evidence.  Then  shall  we  weigh  the 
assertions  and  conclusions  of  modern  historians,  and  see  what  is  to 
become  of  the  works  of  certain  writers  and  critics,  particularly  those 
who  now-a-days  dispense  with  citing  authorities  for  events  alleged 
to  have  occurred  centuries  ago  ;  and  modestly  claim  for  their  elucu- 
brations  the  confidence  accorded  to  the  Gospel. 

In  keeping  with  those  ideas,  Barlow  urged  his  friends  to  pave 
the  way  for  such  useful  and  laborious  pursuits,  by  devoting  their 
time,  their  intelligence  and  their  means  to  the  search  of  original  and 
authentic  documents.  He  pressed  them  to  explore  the  Vatican,  the 
Frarii  and  Marciana,  Simancas,  La  Lonja  and  the  Escorial,  the  Bank 
of  St.  George  and  Uffizi,  and  bring  to  light  from  those  famous  reposi- 
tories of  archives,  perhaps  only  a  name,  a  date  or  a  mere  allusion,

but  still  something  which  might  enable  honest  historians  to  elucidate 
obscure  points  of  our  old  annals.  When  once  in  possession  of  those 
inestimable  elements,  there  would  still  remain  the  task  of  establish- 
ing the  text  on  a  sound  basis  ;  illustrating  it  with  notes  and  extracts 
from  other  manuscripts  ;  and  finally  exposing  in  an  exact  and  pre- 
cise statement,  bolstered  with  every  proof,  the  results  so  dearly 
obtained.  "Even  then,"  he  was  wont  to  say  philosophically,  "the 
truth  will  only  be  relative  and  of  a  transitory  character,  as  further 
investigations,  or  new  modes  of  thought,  may  impair  synthetic  con- 
clusions deemed  heretofore  incontestable  ; — and  thus  it  will  be  to 
the  end  of  time."  And  he  quoted  the  instances  of  Augustin  Thierry, 
Motley,  and  a  number  of  other  conscientious  historians. 

Barlow,  particularly  during  the  last  few  years  of  his  life,  was 
fond  of  reading  history  ;  not,  however,  in  those  famous  compilations 
or  didactic  works,  which  set  forth  pretended  conclusive  answers  to 
every  question  imaginable,  and  where  political  fawning  or  grandilo- 
quence, is  made  to  replace  a  sincere  and  difficult  study  of  the  original 
sources.  He  much  preferred  the  modest  and  short  disquisitions 
confined  to  a  single  event,  character  or  date,  but  exhibiting  initial 
researches,  method  and  acumen.  Tolerant  as  he  was,  it  distressed 
him  to  see  the  constant,  barefaced  repetition  of  doubtful  facts, 
unsupported  assertions,  and  fallacies  of  long  standing,  all  para- 
phrased, or  presented  as  the  unimpeachable  results  of  novel,  arduous 
and  personal  studies,  which  constitute  the  woof  and  warp  of  so 
many  modern  works. 

In  the  hope  of  curing  that  malady  of  our  historical  writers  and 
encyclopedists,  which  he  considered  almost  as  a  public  calamity. 
Barlow  was  untiring  in  his  efforts  to  impress  upon  students  the  neces- 
sity of  dismissing  at  the  outset  every  preconceived  notion  relative 
to  the  subject  which  they  proposed  to  investigate. 

"  If  you  possibly  can,  commence,"  said  he,  "  as  Descartes  did  when 
preparing  to  write  his  Discourse  on  Method^  by  making  tabula  rasa  of 
all  previous  knowledge  regarding  the  particular  point  of  inquiry. 
Ascend  to  the  fountain-head,  wherever  it  may  be  ;  examine  for  your- 
self every  element  with  the  utmost  care,  and  mark  down  the  cause 


Samuel  L.  M.  Barlow,  xiii 

for  which  you  admit  or  reject  it.  If  in  the  course  of  time  new 
reasons  come  to  impair  the  solidity  of  your  synthesis,  say  why  you 
abandon  those  first  results,  and  fear  not  the  cheap  accusation  of 
inconsistency. 

"  Above  all,  do  not  be  dazzled  by  the  ancientness  or  reputation 
of  the  annalists  and  chroniclers  from  whom  you  must  necessarily 
derive  much  of  the  original  substance  of  your  historic  labors.  His- 
torians in  ancient  times  were  inferior  even  to  many  of  our  own  as 
regards  discrimination  and  veracity.  The  fact  that  they  were 
nearer,  and  sometimes  eye-witnesses  of  the  events  which  they  relate, 
is  no  decisive  circumstance  in  their  favor.  There  is  no  employee 
to-day  in  the  Medal-  Rooms  of  the  British  Museum,  or  of  the  Biblio- 
thcque  Nationale,  who  does  not  know  vastly  more  regarding  the 
authentic  history  of  Rome  than  Livy  or  Dio  Cassius  ever  did.  Yet, 
examine  only  after  your  work  is  finished  modern  historical  and 
geographical  compositions,  however  extolled  and  presented  by  their 
authors  and  friends  as  perfect  models  to  the  rising  generation.  You 
may  then  discover  curious  things. 

"  Go  straight  before  you,  regardless  of  consequences  ;  and  with 
no  other  objective  than  to  get  at  the  truth,  so  far  as  our  infirm 
nature  permits.  If  the  results  are  at  variance  with  commonly 
received  notions  or  legends,  and  denied  on  that  sole  account,  take 
no  notice  whatever  of  the  objection.  But,  on  the  other  hand,  do 
not  seek  a  priori  to  upset  general  beliefs  or  traditions.  Let  your 
efforts  be  prompted  by  an  earnest  desire  to  confirm  rather  than  to 
overturn  ;  and  swerve  from  the  beaten  path  only  when  the  facts 
compel  you  to  do  so. 

"  Whatever  may  be  their  merits  or  demerits,  your  works  will 
attract  but  little  attention.  Nor  can  the  author,  dedicated  to  that 
class  of  dry  and  difficult  researches,  expect  always  justice  at  the  hands 
of  the  rare  critics  who  may  feel  disposed  to  notice  his  writings  ;  as, 
to  be  fairly  judged,  these  require  an  amount  of  patience,  toilsome 
study,  and,  let  it  be  said,  adequate  knowledge  of  the  subject,  which 
they  do  not  all  possess.  You  may  rest  assured  that  the  greater  tlie 
competence  and  impartiality  of  your  adversaries,  the  gentler  will  be 
tlieir  criticisms.      Having  probably  gone  through  the  same  ordeal  as 


xiv  Samuel  L.  M.  Barlow. 

yourselves,  they  cannot  but  appreciate  the  amount  of  labor  and 
abnegation  involved  in  such  efforts.  And  yet,  who  knows  ?  an 
impardonable  misprint,  a/  put  for  a  h,  or  a  3  for  a/,  is  perhaps  all 
that  which  during  twenty-five  years  and  more -will  ever  be  noticed, 
here,  in  that  mass  of  facts  and  documents  which  I  expect  you,  and 
every  one  of  you,  to  discover,  elucidate  and  publish." 

With  that  good-natured  smile  which  so  often  played  on  his  lips, 
Barlow  rarely  failed  to  complete  the  friendly  admonition  by  describ- 
ing the  trials  and  kind  of  reward  attending  such  sacrifices  and 
exertions. 

"  Publishers,  said  he,  will  invariably  and  with  touching  unani- 
mity decline  to  undertake,  at  their  own  cost,  the  publication  of 
works  of  that  character;  and  no  one  should  blame  them  for  it.  On 
general  principles,  there  is  no  reason  why  they  should  stake  a  single 
dollar  on  a  book  which  few  people  will  read,  and  fewer  still  will  buy. 
Publishers  do  not  usually  set  up  in  business  with  the  hope  or  for 
the  sole  purpose  of  working  their  way  into  heaven.  Why  should 
they  be  more  patriotic  than  our  next-door  neighbor,  or  the  man 
across  the  way  ?  Business  is  business  ;  and  if  you  choose  to  be 
philanthropic,  if  you  aspire  to  play  the  part  of  a  benefactor  of  man- 
kind, it  must  be  at  your  own  risk  and  expense.  The  fact  that  our 
country  justly  boasts  of  numberless  geographical  and  historical 
societies,  colleges  and  universities,  besides  five  thousand  three  hun- 
dred and  thirty-eight  public  libraries,  many  of  them  munificently 
endowed,  while  the  rest  could  doubtless  afford  to  invest  a  small 
sum  in  that  kind  of  American  histories,  does  not  alter  materially  the 
aspect  of  the  case.  In  this  utilitarian  age,  public  libraries  are  insti- 
tuted to  dispense  only  such  books  as  may  amuse  or  prove  interest- 
ing to  the  majority  of  readers.  Now,  who  takes  a  serious  interest 
in  the  controverted  questions  where  Columbus,  Vespuccius,  Pinzon, 
John  Cabot,  Diego  de  Lepe  or  Corte  Reals  actually  went,  under 
what  circumstances,  and  in  the  details  of  their  discoveries  ; 
whether  Verrazzano,  Gomez,  or  unknown  Spanish  and  Portuguese 
navigators  long  before  them,  first  landed  on  our  shores,  and  left 
traces  of  their  explorations  ?  Where  is  the  reader  for  the  laborious 
analysis  of  maps  and  documents,  all  sifted  with  unremitting  perse-

verance  to  ascertain  the  real  purport  of  every  name,  word  and  carto- 
graphical assertion,  to  discover  the  origin  of  the  nomenclature  and 
configurations  in  the  earliest  charts,  and  to  establish  a  solid  basis  for 
further  enquiries  and  descriptions  ?  How  many,  in  fine,  care  for 
those  and  a  multitude  of  other  primary  facts  of  paramount  import- 
ance for  the  geography,  history  and  ethnography  of  the  New  World  ? 
They  are  few  and  far  between. 

"  What,  you  lift  up  your  eyes,  and  already  assume  the  attitude 
of  a  victim  !  But,  writing  books,  even  on  American  bibliography, 
is  not  an  apostolic  mission.  Nor  will  the  earth  cease  to  revolve  on 
its  axis  though  you  should  never  pen  a  line  on  the  subject.  If  you 
do  not  find  within  yourself  the  recompense  you  think  is  due  to  such 
efforts,  or  cannot  afford  to  write  history  neither  for  fame  nor  money, 
then  turn  at  once  your  attention  to  some  other  pursuit. 

"  Yet,  the  work  needs  be  accomplished;  and  even  if  there  is, 
from  the  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  only  one  of  our  fellow- 
beings  who  longs  to  know  the  truth  regarding  the  discovery  and 
historical  commencements  of  the  New  World,  the  book  should  be 
written.  Nay,  if  no  publishing  house,  at  home  or  abroad,  cares  to 
have  it  printed,  and  you  have  the  means  or  can  borrow  the  money, 
defray  yourself  the  expenses  of  publication,  and  launch  your  work 
into  the  community.  Not  one  tenth  of  the  edition,  however  limited, 
will  find  purchasers,  while  the  rest  will  be  left  to  mould  away  and 
disappear.  Do  not  be  discouraged.  If  a  single  copy  survives,  and 
the  book  has  been  honestly  written,  time  will  instill  into  its  discarded 
pages  new  elements  of  life,  and  perhaps  elicit  from  some  candid  and 
diligent  student  of  history  a  recognition  of  your  efforts  and  sacri- 
fices." 

Mr.  Barlow  made  one  proselyte;  and  although,  thus  far,  only  his 
inauspicious  warnings  have  proved  true,  the  task  will  be  continued 
to  the  last.

The  compiler  of  this  catalogue  is  under  some  obligation  to 
explain  apparent  discrepancies  in  at  least  one  item  contained  in  its 
pages.  The  recent  discovery  of  two  editions  of  the  Spanish  text  of 
the  Columbus  Letter,  a  discovery  only  verified  since  page  8i  was 
printed,  will  alter  the  statement  there  made,  even  though  it  lends 
additional  interest  to  the  subject  itself. 

The  chief  care  of  the  writer  has  been  to  elaborate  defects, 
rather  than  enlarge  on  the  quality  of  items  that  well  deserve  a 
more  eulogistic  description,  and  the  only  blemish  that  has  come  to 
light  not  hitherto  explained,  is  that  pi6(X//4fi  the  last  leaf  in  No. 
636  is  one  of  Pilinski's  marvelous  fac-similes. 

The  labor-saving  but  treacherous  element  of  scissors  and  paste, 
has  caused  a  few  errors  so  obvious  as  to  need  no  correction,  but 
the  care  taken  by  the  printer  has  prevented  far  less  than  the  usual 
typographical  blunders, 

Mr.  Harrisse  has,  on  invitation,  kindly  supplied  some  pages, 
only  possible  from  his  virile  pen  and  his  intimate  knowledge  of  the 
subject  in  hand. 

Should  the  reader  fail  to  appreciate  the  alphabetical  arrange- 
ment of  these  pages,  if  he  fails  to  find  De  Bry  under  B,  for  example, 
his  inventive  faculty  will  be  at  fault;  and  if  the  famous  subject  of  a 
memoir  has  been  chosen,  rather  than  the  less  famous  author,  it  must 
certainly  offer  the  easiest  reference.

"  As  late  as  1655  the  Indians  of  New  York  were  revenging  the  murderous 
slaughter  of  four  hundred  of  their  countrymen  at  Pavonia  by  that  sanguinary 
coward  Governor  Kieft.  The  petition  shows  that  three  hundiedof  the  Dutch 
colony  had  been  slain  and  one  hundred  carried  away  captive.  So  audacious  had 
the  tierce  Indians  become  that  several  of  the  Dutch  had  l)een  killed  on 
the  Island  of  Manhattan;  and  on  one  occasion  sixty-four  canoes  loaded  with  the 
savages  had  landed  on  the  shore  of  the  North  River,  and  before  tlaylight  had 
filled  the  streets  of  New  Amsterdam.  The  first  objects  upon  which  the  eyes  of 
the  astonished  Dutchmen  rested  in  the  morning  were  the  crowtls  of  savages,  to 
whose  forbearance  alone  they  owed  their  lives  "' — P'ield.

bitter  against  Eriends,  that,  instead  of  being  humbled,  under  the  mighty  hand  of 
God  upon  them  in  suffering  the  Indians  to  destroy  them,  they  express'd  their 
enmity  against  the  poor  (Quaker."

tains an  account  of  the  signs  and  marvels  which  had  been  seen  by  the  Indians 
before  the  anival  of  the  Spaniards.  This  chapter,  cl  nI(i»io  del  ori^'uial.  had

En  Medina  del  Campo,  por  Guillermo  de  Millis,  1553 

"  Gomara's  historical  merit  is  considerable.  11  is  mode  of  narration  is  clear, 
flowing,  always  agreeable  and  sometimes  elegant.  The  copies  of  his  historia  de 
las  Indias  and  of  his  Chronica  were  called  in  by  a  decree  of  the  Council  of  the 
Indies,  and  were  long  considered  as  prohibited  books." — Roukktson. 

It  is  a  great  historical  work,  indispensable  to  the  student  of  Spanish  affairs  in 
America  after  the  conquest,  notwithstanding  the  charges  made  by  Bernal  Diaz 
against  Gomara  of  occasional  inaccuracy.  The  dedication  to  Charles  V.  begins 
with  these  remarkable  words:  "  The  greatest  event  which  has  happened  since  the 
creation  of  the  world  (^leaving  aside  the  incarnation  and  death  of  Him  who  created 
it)  is  the  discovery  of  the  Indies." 

Gomara  prefixes  a  curious  address  to  intending  translators,  warning  them  to  be 
accurate  and  to  measure  the  full  significance  of  the  pregnant  Spanish  phrases; 
also,  to  pay  special  attention  to  proper  names.  He  further  declares  that  he  is 
writing  the  book  in  Latin,  so  that  the  translators  may  take  no  trouble  in  that 
language.      His  Latin  version  has  never  appeared.

Mexico,  1826 

"  The  statement  on  the  title  of  '  translated  by  Chimalpain  '  is  merely  paren- 
thetical. Bustamante  when  he  had  in  his  hands  the  MS,  from  which  he  priiiteil 
the  book,  supposed  it  to  be  an  original  work  by  Chimalpain,  but  afterwards  dis- 
covered that  this  Mexican,  who  flourished  at  the    beginning  of    the  seventeenth 


Americana.  153 

century,  had  only  rendered  Gomara's  book  into  his  own  tongue.  It  is  not  clear 
from  what  original  Bustamante  has  published  the  above  volumes;  he  does  not 
appear  to  have  seen  the  Mexican  text  and  there  is  nothing,  except  a  few  words  in 
chapter  62,  to  show  any  connexion  between  the  Spanish  publication  of  Bustamante 
and  the  work  of  Chimalpain.  As  for  the  text,  it  seems  rather  like  a  modem  im- 
provement of  Gomara,  than  like  a  fresh  translation  from  the  Mexican  version. 
However  this  may  be,  the  editor's  notes  are  copious  and  valuable. 

[It  should  be  stated,  indeed,  that  a  MS.  professing  to  contain  the  Mexican 
text  of  Chimalpain's  history,  but  according  to  the  description  differing  in  its 
character  from  that  of  Gomara,  was  sold  at  the  Abbe  Fischer's  sale  in  iS6y.]"

By  John  Heckewelder.  .  .  .  Portrait.  8vo,  half  blue  morocco,

"  Heckewelder's  narrative  is  a  full  and  undoubtedly  faithful  record  of  all  the 
details  of  the  Mission,  its  wonderful  success  and  its  appalling  destruction.  He  was 
able  to  give  a  thousand  particulars  from  personal  experience,  and  it  is  at  once  an 
interesting  story,  abounding  in  veritable  incidents;  and  a  valuable  history,  forti- 
fied by  impregnable  facts.  Forty  years  of  missionary  life  among  the  Delaware 
and  Shawnese  tribes  had  amply  fitted  the  author  to  record  the  facts  which  fell 
under  his  own  knowledge." — Fn:r.ii.

8vo,  half  morocco,  gilt  top,  uncut.     Quebec  :  Aiii::;nstinc  Cott\  1858 

The  most  extraordinary  and  valuable  collection  ever  made  of  the  narrative  of  a 
class  of  men  who,  two  centuries  before  what  we  term  civilization,  had  prostratetl 
the  forests,  explored  the  vast  territories  covered  by  them,  recorded  the  peculi- 
arities of  the  natives,  and  in  many  instances  bestowed  upon  them  the  blessings  of 
( 'hristianity.  These  relations,  for  many  years  looked  upon  through  the  haze  of 
sectarian  distrust,  were  lightly  esteemed  by  the  students  of  American  history,  but 
the  more  their  character  and  statements  were  investigated,  the  more  important 
and  valuable  they  appeared.  They  have  become  the  sources  from  which  we  must 
draw  almost  all  the  historic  material  of  New  York  and  Canada,  during  the  first 
century  and  a  half  of  their  exploration  by  Europeans.  It  was  to  perpetuate  these 
monuments  of  the  early  history  of  Canada  that  Parliament  ordered  their  publica- 
tion in  this  form." — Field.

"  This  tract  claims  its  importance  from  the  celebrity  of  its  author.  It  was 
written  in  the  sixty-sixth  year  of  his  age,  when  he  was  at  the  meridian  of  his 
fame.  Mr.  Bancroft  describes  it  as  an  exemplification  of  the  tone  of  public  sen- 
timent then  prevailing  in  England.  It  called  forth  several  replies,  each  of  which 
is  aimed  at  pointing  out  the  fallacy  that  lurks  in  its  title  as  well  as  in  all  its 
reasonings."

42^  by  26^^  inches. 

■'An  original  map  of  the  greatest  importance,  undescribed  and  unknown^ 
drawn  up  evidently  by  Randin,  Frontenac's  engineer,  between  1672-1682. 

It  is  the  only  map  where  the  name  Bazire  is  used  to  designate  the  Arkansas 
River.  Bazire  was  a  merchant  of  Canada,  who  in  1673,  supported  Frontenac  in 
his  design  of  building  Fort  Frontenac  .  .  .  The  names  La  Frontenacie,  Buade 
I'outrelaise,  &c.,  &c.,  lead  me  to  believe  that  this  is  the  original  Randin  map, 
described  in  my  Notes  sur  la  Nouvelle  France,  p.  XXV.,  and  No.  241,  wliich  has 
disappeared  from  the  Archives  of  the  French  Navy. 

The  sketching  shows  that  it  was  drawn  before  the  discoveries  made  by  La 
Salle."— H.  H.

In  the  text  to  the  map  of  Valentia  there  is  a  singular  statement  made,  which  is

in  the  later  ones  it  is  changed  as  follows  :  "  Ager  hujus  urbis  a  gente  e  Mauris

The  title  [as  above]  gives  no  correct  notion  of  its  contents.  It  contains  a 
History  of  the  Discovery  of  the  East  and  West  Indies  by  the  Spaniards  and 
Portuguese  [or  Italians],  and  is  singularly  curious.  He  attempts  to  show  that 
these  countries  had  previously  been  visited  by  the  Antients,  and  exhorts  the 
French  nation  to  continue  the  exploration  of  new  countries.  He  combats  the 
claim  of  the  Spaniards  to  the  exclusive  dominion  of  the  Indies,  and  sa\s  the  dis- 
covery was  made  by  Italians.

Majesty's  Commission  to  cruise  on  the  Spaniards  in  the  late  War 
with  the  Spanish  Crown)  till  she  was  cast  away  on  the  Island  of 
Juan  Fernandez,  in  May,  1720;  and  afterwards  continued  in  the 
Recovery,  the  Jesus  Maria  and  Sacra  Famila,  &:c.  By  Captain 
George  Shelvocke.     Map  and  ^  plates.     Svo,  calf.     London,  1726 

Two  histories  were  published  of  ihis  voyage.  This  was  intended  by  the 
author  as  a  vindication  of  his  conduct,  he  having  been  accused  of  piracy  and 
embezzlement.  The  other  was  written  by  William  Betagh,  who  was  roughly 
treated  in  Shelvocke's  narrative,  and,  in  return,  wrote  with  the  design  of 
exposing  Shelvocke. 

The  author's  relation  of  the  discovery  of  gold  is  remarkable.  "The  soil 
about  Puerto  Seguro  (and  very  likely  in  most  parts  of  the  valleys)  is  a  rich  black 
mould,  which,  as  you  turn  it  up  fresh  to  the  sun  appears  as  if  intermingled  with 
gold  dust,  some  of  which  we  endeavored  to  wash  and  purify  from  the  dust;  but 
though  we  were  a  little  prejudiced  against  the  thoughts  that  it  could  be  possible 
that  this  metal  should  be  so  promiscuously  and  universally  mingled  with  common 
earth,  yet  we  endeavored  to  cleanse  and  wash  the  earth  from  some  of  it,  and  the 
more  we  did,  the  more  it  appeared  like  gold;  but  in  order  to  be  further  satisfied. 
I  brought  away  some  of  it,  which  we  lost  in  our  confusions  in  China." — /'''a''<  ■'

2460  [Thomson  (Charles).]  An  Enquiry  into  the  Causes  of  the 
Alienation  of  the  Delaware  and  Shawanese  Indians  from  the 
British  Interest,  .  .  .  Extracted  from  the  Public  Treaties,  and 
other  Authentic  Papers  relating  to  the  Transactions  of  the  Gov- 
ernment of  Pensilvania,  and  the  said  Indians,  for  near  Forty  Years; 
and  explained  by  a  Map  of  the  Country.  Together  with  the 
remarkable  Journal  of  Christian  Frederic  Post,  by  whose  Negotia- 
tions among  the  Indians  on  the  Ohio,  they  were  withdrawn  from 
the  Interest  of  the  French,  who  thereupon  abandoned  the  Fort 
and  the  Country.  With  Notes  by  the  Editor  explaining  sundry 
Indian  Customs,  &c.  Written  in  Pensylvania,  Map.  8vo,  pp.

Extremely  rare  in  this  state. 

"One  of  the  principal  causes  of  the  hostility  of  the  Pennsylvania  Indians  was 
the  wicked  craft  practiced  upon  them  by  Governor  Thomas  Penn,  and  other 
proprietors  in  1737.  Certain  chiefs  having  been  called  together  by  the  specula- 
tors, two  persons  were  found  to  testify  that  they  were  present  at  a  council  fifty 
years  before,  at  which  as  much  land  was  ceded  to  William  Penn  as  a  man  could 
walk  around  in  a  day  and  a  half.  There  was  a  chief  living  who  could  have  proved 
this  testimon\'  false,  but  he  was  carefully  kept  in  ignorance  of  the  council,  and 
by  mean  fraud,  endless  perjury,  and  tempting  but  specious  gifts,  the  surrepti- 
tious deed  was  ratified.  To  locate  as  large  a  territory  as  possible,  a  trained 
pedestrian  was  employed,  who  was  met  at  appointed  stations  by  refreshments, 
and  thus  was  enabled  to  traverse  a  route  which  cut  off  a  million  acres  from  the 
Indian  territory.  Less  than  one-third  that  quantity  of  land  was  the  amount 
which  the  Indians  had  been  led  to  expect  would  be  ceded.  Endless  conferences, 
and  numerous  councils,  were  followed  by  bloody  massacres,  that  devastated  the 
border  settlements  of  Pennsylvania  and  \'irginia  for  twenty  years.  Mr.  Thomson's 
work  fully  analyzes  the  cause  of  the  alienation,  which  the  heroic  Quaker,  Christian 
Post,  hazarded  his  life  to  overcome." — Field.

Together  3  parts  (the  complete  series)  in  i  vol.,  folio,  half

These  valuable  publications,  which  are  the  entire  result  of  Varnhagen's  studies 
on  Vespucci,  contain  all  the  letters  of  Vespucci,  both  authentic  and  doubtful, 
exactly  reproduced  from  the  originals.  These  are  illustrated  with  literary  and 
bibliographical  notes,  a  critical  analysis  of  his  life,  extracts  from  rare  books  and 
unpublished  documents,  &c. ;  which  the  editor,  as  an  influential  and  indefatigable 
scholar,  had  favorable  opportunities  of  examining.  The  concern  of  the  modern 
world  is  with  the  priority  of  Vespucci  as  a  navigator  in  American  waters,  and  the 
origin  of  the  name  given  to  the  New  World,  and  everything  necessary  for  any  one 
who  wishes  to  examine  the  matter  thoroughly  will  be  found  in  Varnhagen's  treat- 
ises, by  which  it  appears  conclusive  that  Vespucci  saw  the  American  continent  in 
1497-8,  in  that  First  Voyage  which  has  been  discredited.  In  fact  these  disquisi- 
tions render  completely  useless,  and  supersede  almost  all  previous  studies  upon 
Americus  Vesputius.

j^^  "  The  writer  of  the  preceding  Paper  says  that  he  was  on  the  Upper  Lakes 
in  1687,  and  that  he  afterwards  held  an  office  under  the  French  Government  in 
the  Island  of  Newfoundland  .  .  .  The  Baron  de  la  Hontan  was  on  the  Lakes 
in  that  year,  and  he  afterwards  held  an  office  in  Newfounuland.  He  offended 
the  government  by  his  conduct  there,  and  was  obliged  to  fly  from  France,  and 
spend  the  remainder  of  his  life  in  other  countries.  These  circumstances  render 
it  almost  certain  that  he  was  the  author  of  the  Paper.  .Vnd  his  exile  will  account 
for  the  apparently  treachenjus  manner  in  which  he  exposed  the  views  and  policy 
of  the  government  of  his  native  country.  The  paper  bears  evident  marks  of 
being  a  translation."     J[arcdl  S[parks],  Oct.,  1S46.

THE  LIVINGSTON  CORRESPONDENCE. 

2763  This  famous  collection  of  over  1,000  Letters,  Petitions,  &c., 
for  the  most  part  addressed  to  William  Livingston,  while  he  held 
the  position  of  Governor  of  New  Jersey,  is  generally  of  an  official 
character,  the  earliest  1775,  the  latest  1782,  though  Gov.  Livingston 
held  his  office  for  14  years.  While  it  will  be  impossible  in  these  pages 
to  give  anything  approaching  an  adequate  idea  of  the  value  of  this 
collection,  the  following  list  selected  from  some  of  the  more 
important  papers,  will  at  least  form  a  clue  to  their  importance. 
The  whole  carefully  mounted  and  bound  in  8  folio  volumes,  half 
russia  (in  a  wooden  case),  including  a  complete  Index  and  Digest 
of  the  whole. 

Laigut  (William),   London,  England,  Oct.  3,  1775,  to  John  Jay. 

"  Many  who  say  .  .  .  They  can  no  longer  advocate  the  cause  [of  America] 
.  .  .  Many  .  .  .  hesitate  not  to  declare  that  the  Americans  are  in  a  state  of 
Rebellion,  &  that  the  most  coercive  measures  ought  to  be  pursued  .  .  . 
others  .  .  .  speak  in  favor  of  America  .  .  .  but  .  .  .  declare,  that  while  the 
Colonies  are  protected  by  &  remain  a  part  of  this  Kingdom,  they  ought  to 
contribute  in  a  constitutional  manner,  their  proportion  of  the  expenses  of  the 
Empire  .  .  .  The  Riches,  Strength  &  Grandeur  of  this  Island,  has  not  I  am 
afraid  been  sufticiently  attended  to,  by  the  Leaders  of  tlie  opposition  in  .Vmerica 
.  .  .  For  well  I  am  convinced  that  if  its  Power  should  be  exerted  against  our 
native  Country,  that  universal  desolation  must  inevitably  be  the  unhappy  Con- 
sequence."

The   Reverend   Gentleman   concludes  with    other  ill  dijrested  and  virulent 
matter,   more   forcible  than  elegant,   and  if  "dear  Polly"  read  between  the 
lines,  the  chances  are  that  she  declined  to  be  re-united.
